Did you notice those photo captions above and think, "what is wacc?" WACC is a simple way to be transparent about the context of a wildlife photo, and it's just one of the ways that I choose to be an ethical wildlife photographer.

If you love wildlife photography and you're ready to make it feel less challenging and more joyful - all while being an ethical photographer - this course is for you.


I share wildlife photography ethics, technical tips and recommended settings, compositional and editing considerations, the gear I use plus how to get the most out of the gear you have right now, and how I approach wildlife photography. Spoiler alert on that last bit: it's to be a nature-lover first, photographer second. Not only does that approach allow you to be a more ethical photographer, it can also help you get more interesting and "lucky" shots, too.


I offer a live, online "Wildlife Photography Weekend" and I'm also available for presentations with individuals and groups.
